I had been on the lookout for a first generation Mercury Cougar with a manual transmission and this one came up for what I thought was a reasonable price! Let’s check this 1967 version with a 289 V8 and manual transmission running for the first time in almost 40 years! If you’d like to get this screaming hunk of FoMoCo turd out of my yard, too late, it has been SOLD! As always, thanks for watching!

Do you just like hearing your self talk? One of the mortske minutes is enough nvm 24.5 of them in one video
All you had to do was put some rod bearings in er. After all that work you gave up way to easy.
That ridiculous speed metal makes this video unwatchable. Find something else that isnt a 1 plus hour irritation. I like the content but the music 45 mins in was too much.
I just frickn subscribed to your channel lol. I didnt know it was this good. Love how you exsplain the cars history and optional platforms n trims . Awsome.
Happy birthday to ya.(Beatles version). Glad you were honest about the Cougar.Now no one will buy it and then when you find a good one with a pdrnl you will have all you need to convert it. Brilliant no? I had a Camaro with 3 on the floor. It rocked. Most of the girls I dated couldn't or didn't count any way.
My uncle back in the 1980s had a 67 cougar he found in the same shape as yours. " he grafted a 67 mustang fastback roof and trunklid to it painted it jet black with chrome cragar ss rims . The car had a pure evil look to it ! Oh yeah in the build he removed the mustang door glass in place of the cougar glass to match up to the mustang curved roof line on the upper rear roof piller. "you should do this to yours it fairly easy if you know what you are doing . "if you want to see an example just google "mercury cougar fastback."
they started making cars ugly in the 70's. they looked like the box they came in?!
Ran when parked my ass!! Ok, this is def the rustiest car u've ever worked on hands down. Great wheels tho! Keystones and slots. i bet that car looked bad ass about 30 yrs ago. Sorry u got hosed. Happy belated bday. i got a free cable deal with my internet so i havent been watchin much utube. R u tryin to be the guy with the most merch on youtube? lmao.. u got more shit than anyone i've ever seen! Ur the coolest Mort!! Thanks for sharin brother
From California I thank you! Being a native of this state and 67 years old it's been sad watching it get so mismanaged But that doesn't me we don't need some help. Cheers
Crusty cat.
